I know that they’re just responding to customer demand, but smaller is not always better. Sometimes I think the industry has gone too far in trying to make guns smaller and smaller. The added length of the grip on the PPK/S is also welcome, to say nothing of the additional round it carries over the earlier PPK. I happen to also like steel guns and double action/single action triggers. However, I prefer the Walther because the slightly larger size and weight makes it much more comfortable to shoot. There are obviously much smaller guns than the PPK/S in. 22 is a lot of fun to shoot.Įven field stripped the. Personally, I’d rather use my money to buy another gun than to buy more expensive ammo, and it won’t take long to hit the break-even point if you shoot enough to be able to confidently place your shots. 20 a round for a savings of $30 – 130 an outing. 22 long rifle ammunition runs about $.15 –.

So multiply the ammo costs by a factor of five to ten, including follow-up training, since shooting is a use-it-or-lose-it skill.įortunately, Walther makes a full size. That takes repetitive training to make drawing and shooting instinctive. One outing obviously isn’t going to give you the skill you’ll need to perform at your best in an armed confrontation. To put a couple hundred rounds downrange in a typical outing will cost roughly $60 to $160, depending on whether you shoot the cheap stuff for practice or shoot what you’ll have loaded when you’re carrying. Fiocchi, Remington and Winchester hollow points, the most popular self-defense rounds, cost $.70-.80 apiece.

380 auto runs from around $.30 a round for Russian Silver Bear full metal jacket (FMJ) ammo, to almost $2 a round for G2 Research RIP hollow points (HP). The downside is that it can also be expensive. From left to right: Remington 95gr FMJ, Hornady Critical Defense 90gr FTX, Dynamic Research Technologies 85gr HP, Herters 95gr FMJ.
